Electron Acceleration and Heating during Magnetic Reconnection in the Earth's Quasi-parallel Bow Shock

We perform a 2.5-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of a quasi-parallel shock, using parameters for the Earth’s bow shock, to examine electron acceleration and heating due to magnetic reconnection. The shock transition region evolves from the ion-coupled reconnection dominant stage to the elect...
